Having been born and raised in New Brunswick CANADA where the Lupin grows wild and in abundance, it is no wonder that Lupins were a must for me when I moved to Ontario! Although these are not the wild ones from back home, I find this variety a lot prettier as its blooms are larger. The trick to germinate Lupins faster is to 'nick' or 'lightly scuff' the hard seed coat and soaking the seed in warm water overnight. This seed packet contains seeds to produce ROSE blooms!
